Introduction: Rosuvastatin calcium (ROSCa) is an anti-hyperlipidemic drug with only 20% oral bioavailability due to its low solubility and high first-pass metabolism. Therefore, the main purpose of this work was to compare solid lipid nanoparticles to nanostructured lipid carriers and evaluate their effect on solubility improvement and hence the bioavailability of a model insoluble drug.
Methods: Different nanosuspensions were formulated using high-speed homogenization and ultrasonication techniques, using Apifil as solid lipid and Maisine as liquid lipid.
Preterm labor is the main cause of death and serious illness of both infants and pregnant women in Africa and worldwide. Parenteral and oral salbutamol sulfate as a B antagonist has been used for the treatment of preterm labor. The study aims are to formulate salbutamol sulfate non-invasive vaginal bioadhesive tablets to avoid the side effects of conventional formulations.

Fluconazole-loaded proniosomal gels were prepared by the coacervation phase separation method using different nonionic surfactants (spans and tweens). The prepared fluconazole proniosomal gels were evaluated for various parameters such as particle size (PS), drug entrapment efficiency percentage (EE%), and drug release.

Various raft-forming agents were used in preliminary screening. Sodium alginate showed maximum raft strength, so tablets were prepared using sodium alginate as the raft forming agent, along with calcium carbonate (CaCO) as antacid and raft strengthening agent, and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO) as a gas generating agent.
